Smell is awfulI really wanted to love this lotion. The smells is absolutely horrible though. Every comment I read said that it had a light scent. I am not sensitive to smells at all and most of my products have a fragrance. But this lotion smells like very bad old lady perfume. I prefer the coconut spray on lotion instead over this.

Great for my nailsI have used this product for about a year. I keep it in the kitchen and put it on at least twice a day. It does not have a strong sent, and my nails are stronger and more healthy when I use it regularly.

Terrible scentI was hoping to get a light moisturizing lotion with a subtle clean scent. Boy did I get the complete opposite. Buying shea butter you don't expect such an overwhelming perfumey scent. It's absolutely nauseating. Very disappointed.

Goes on smoothlyAfter showering, my legs are very dry. This goes on easily. The fragrance is very light and let's me know it is there when I put it on, but I don't smell it the rest of the day.
One problem is that the pump does not go down far enough into the bottle. It is a struggle to get down to the last bit. It would be great if they included a regular cap so that I can stand it upside down to the very end.

Babassu

Community Trade Babassu oil is extracted from the nuts of the wild babassu palm tree, found on the fringes of the Amazon rainforest in Brazil. Our babassu oil supplier, The Cooperative of Agricultural Producers of Lago de Junco (COPPALJ) is based in the north-eastern state of Maranhão in Brazil. It comprises over 150 members from 12 communities. The babassu palm tree has become an important subsistence resource in Maranhão, where over 300,000 families harvest babassu oil and are often dependent upon this activity for their economic survival. COPPALJ provides a fair wage, and also helps to lobby on behalf of babassu-harvesting communities to help them protect the forest and their livelihood. Babassu Oil helps to soften skin, preventing moisture loss and dry skin.

Shea

Our Community Trade shea butter is hand-crafted in Ghana by the Tungteiya Shea Butter Association is made up of over 475 women in 11 villages around Tamale, northern Ghana. Each woman takes two days to carefully produce the 25kg of butter; the rich kernels of 28 shea nuts are packed into every ultra-moisturizing Shea Body Butter. Our trade partnership with the Tungteiya Association has provided them with income and money to fund water pipes, access medial care and better housing and education. They ultra-nourishing shea butter we receive from them makes up our highly-nourishing, best-selling Shea bath & body range.

The Body Shop® difference: Our babassu oil from Brazil has had quite a past. From the 1960s to the 1980s, the women “babassu breakers” and their families were forced from their land by the military dictatorship. Families lost their livelihoods and their homes, and countless trees were destroyed to make room for cattle. The women formed the Association of Rural Working Women and fought a 10-year legal battle. Eventually they secured the “Free Babassu” law, giving them the legal rights to go back onto the land and gather the babassu nuts, and preventing the trees from being chopped down.
